Co-parenting

If divorced couple decided to practise “co-parenting”, are there anything they have to bear in mind?


When divorced parents can forget their past experience, disengage from the previous relations and reintegrate into new ones, they can practise “co-parenting” better. They can also adjust their roles as ‘work partner”, which means they share the responsibility and strive to run the “business”.  “Business” here refers to the outcome which your children can grow up healthily and happily.

If parents want to develop from a divorced relationship to a good “work partnership”, the followings are the important practice:

  • Set a common goal to facilitate collaboration
  • Make your best efforts to attain “win-win” situation
  • Negotiate when coming across conflicts
  • Pinpoint specific issues and determine concrete goals
  • Respect and treat each other politely
  • Control your emotion and communicate rationally

The synergy between “work partner” takes time to establish, in which ups and downs are inevitable. It cannot solely rely on luck. Respect and persistence from each other are needed. Please feel free to contact the Parent-child Connect Specialised Co-parenting Support Centre or Family Resource Centre if you are interested in learning more about “co-parenting”.
